The DNS-313 certainly won't take up much desktop real estate as this single drive appliance is remarkably compact and yet offers both USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet connection options. You won't be able to use them at the same time as the interfaces at the rear have a small sliding cover over them that only allows one of them to be accessible. The DNS-313 adheres to the same design philosophy as the dual drive DNS-323 as its chassis is a sleek matt-black aluminium affair that feels well built. It's supplied diskless so you can pick your own SATA drive and D-Link is promoting it as capable of supporting the latest high capacity 1TB models. Drive installation is a simple process as you slip the front cover off, slide the drive in where it mates with the combined power and SATA interface at the back and pop the cover back on."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/5913-DNS313A1ImageBackH.jpg" /><br /><br />Please remember that it comes diskless so you can pop in your own SATA drive. Although I guess D-Link is probably hoping that with drive capacities going all the way up to 1TB these days, people won't care about the fact that this NAS seems to only be able to hold one hard drive. But I would have preferred having that extra drive option for either extra storage or more likely for redundancy.
